How to Request Electronic Reserves
Configuring your Blackboard course and requesting articles:
- Log in to Blackboard and give Himmelfarb Library access to your course. Step-by-step instructions for granting access to Himmelfarb staff are included in our reserves tutorial video.
- If we do not gain access to your Blackboard course, we cannot fulfill your request.
- We will create your Electronic Reserves section, if necessary.
- Granting Himmelfarb access to your course in Blackboard will redirect you to the reserve request form, where you can begin requesting articles.
- Complete and submit the reserve request form for up to 5 articles. If you have more than 5 articles to request, complete the form only once and send the rest of your requests via email as per the instructions below.
- Once your items are posted, you will receive a confirmation e-mail.
Requesting more than 5 articles:
- Give Himmelfarb Library access to your Blackboard course, as described above.
- Complete and submit ONLY ONE (1) reserve request form.
- Send the remaining requested articles in a list, or send your syllabus with the sessions and articles highlighted to mlbrsv@gwu.edu. We can only accept .doc or .pdf files.
- Once your items are posted, you will receive a confirmation e-mail.
